Only one request may be made per account, and only one capitalization change may be made until you request a user name change. You may not request changes for other users.

Update Your Links
Once your name has been changed, it is your responsibility to change all links except on talk pages from your old name to your new name. To find these pages, go to the old user page and click »What links here« from the toolbox. Start with the user-link-template, rename it and replace the old user link.

Not renamed
The user "The ZAC Atac" seems like he wanted to change his name, but instead of requesting a user name change he moved/edited all the pages with his old name with the new name "TheZACAtac". I don't have the Bureaucrat role and Maczkopeti is inactive, so Wiimm, you should decide wether to revert his edits due to not asking for a user name change or change his name. —Atlas (talk) 12:14, 17 March 2017 (UTC)
- Ok, I now understand what to do and I apologize for just changing all my pages instead of requesting a name change. I will change everything back and just wait till July to request a name change because then it will be a year since I signed up. -- TheZACAtac (talk) 19:20, 17 March 2017 (UTC)
- Sure if that's possible. -- TheZACAtac (talk) 22:50, 17 March 2017 (UTC)
User:Bri wants a name change to User:Bri-11. Although he/she is fine with the current name, if we had to go with the latter, there would be a bigger problem. Since User:Bri911 is already a user on the Wiiki, this would cause more confusion. I believe that we shouldn't exactly change this name — at least, not yet. --KantoEpic (talk) 03:05, 23 November 2018 (UTC)
